DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Title</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Love&rsquo\;s <em>Telos</em>: Kierkegaard&rsquo\;s Critique of Preferential Love</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong></strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Kierkegaard&rsquo\;s <em>Works of Love</em> is often associated with a harshly dismissive stance toward ordinary human love\, as measured against an ascetic ideal of pure\, Christian\, non-preferential love. Despite a number of recent attempts to give it a sympathetic hearing\, the worry persists that this text denigrates most what we ordinarily call love in ways that are extreme and implausible. My own view is that\, on a standard\, moralizing reading of <em>Works of Love</em>\, this sort of complaint cannot be adequately answered. However\, I believe that the moralizing reading misrepresents the overall structure of Kierkegaard&rsquo\;s critique and misses its internal character. My main aim in this talk will be to clarify the structure of Kierkegaard&rsquo\;s argument and to develop an alternative interpretative framework. I hope to indicate why stock criticisms miss their target and how this text offers a cogent overall contribution to the philosophy of love.&nbsp\;</p>\n\n
